About Me

Hi I'm Clare, I live in the South West of England in the seaside town of Torquay. I adore playing with inks, paints and generally getting messy. It is the calm place which fits in between my hectic life whilst working as a teaching assistant, looking after my son, daughter and hubby Gary. Not forgetting our two mad springer spaniels, Suzi and Jess.

Mixed Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #36 Put a Stamp on it

Our sponsors this month is Topflight Stamps. Topflight stamps is a brand new, online, boutique stamp store offering you a world wide selection of delightful stamps. There is a $25 gift certificate for the lucky winner of this months challenge.

For this months challenge I decided to get inky on a tag! Using Distress Oxides along with Visible Image stamps I created my musical tag.

Using Fired brick and Spiced marmalade Distress Oxides I worked on the tag, spritzing with water and drying in between. I die cut the tag using one of Tim Holtz thinlets.

The singing diva was stamped with versafine black ink. I continued to add some stencilling to the tag first with some Distress ink and then with some gold paint.

Onto some glossy paper, previously prepared with alcohol ink, I stamped the girl once more and cut out her fingerprint dress to layer onto the tag. I added some detail so the diva using a gold pen.

I stamped "Sing" onto some black card with a versamark watermark ink pad. I used Stampendous gold embossing power along with some of the frantage glitter to give it some bling!
